Cloud Nine

The Temptations

5/5

Banger after banger. Cloud Nine is funky fresh from start to finish. Clean tasty bass

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

Oh I've listened to this many times. For a couple of kooks, even the filler tracks are great.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

Classic.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

Blue skies with fresh ears sounds really good and I love how he double times at the end, stretching it out further and further. All in all, well made, but it's so easy listening, I get a little anxious for noise

Document

R.E.M.

5/5

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

Oh this is music from my high school days. I've listened to this more than a few times. Elephant is a better record overall, so I'm not quite sure how this is here.

Tical

Method Man

5/5

I learned a lot while listening to this album. When the RZA would make a fresh beat, the clan would rap battle for the rights to use it. Word warrior quality control. If you couldn't spit it, youd never get it. Amazing. The energy is so positive. Method reflects light and love against the backdrop of a violent and turbulent world. Wu Tang really is forever.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

I've listened to this album at least 100 times. We played Chameleon in high school jazz band and I loved that bass riff so much. My friends hated Watermelon Man when I played it, but I think it's a banger. I like Thrust better, but this is still a masterpiece.

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

4/5

The arpeggios in the bridge of the first track are awesome. Prescient of what's coming in the 80s. Opening bass lick is sick af in Princess of the Streets. Vocals remind me of Zappa. That build up at the end of Down in the Sewer, so tight. Solid album, some of these songs are going into a heavier rotation

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

5/5

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

3/5

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

Orchestration on this album is top tier. The singles are so universally known, they overshadow the sleeper tracks by a lot, which makes it feel lopsided. It's all tight, and Bernie Taupin made some really interesting lyrical choices.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

5/5

Oh this is a five star album. Relisten for the umpteenth time. And time is really what it's all about, in jazz and in life. Take Five is a standard. Blue Rondo is a standard. This is an album of standards. Simple hops from time signature to time signature simply as the river flows.

Destroyer

KISS

2/5

Who thought this is a quintessential album that everyone needs to hear? It's really mediocre when they're not on stage. Their stage presence is legendary, but their music is milquetoast. I do hear where others gathered some influence, QOTSA's songs for the dead and Weezer's entire catalog.

Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line

3/5

Icarus Line kicking out the jams! Feeling some heavy Iggy Pop and MC5 vibes off this record.

A Wizard, A True Star

Todd Rundgren

3/5

Pearl

Janis Joplin

4/5

Anytime music Solid record through and through, made me nostalgic

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying

Megadeth

3/5

Thrashy, but forgettable. It may be technically difficult, but it sounds like every hair metal album. Maybe that's why it's great, maybe that's why it's so middle of the road for me.

The Scream

Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

Waffle between three and four. It's complex and interesting, but it doesn't all sound good to me. I might need to listen to it a few more times to know for sure whether it's just noise or whether it works for me. There's so much going on in the background, I couldn't digest the lyrics without intentionally digging into them. So far, I like the idea of Siouxsie and the Banshees more than the execution, but we're giving an extra star for their cultural impact.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Excellent album. A worthy 21st century addition. Compton's new prodigal son making a big splash with this record, torn between the conscious realization that a hard world demands hardiness, and the artists desire to bare his altruist heart.

War

U2

3/5

Life's Too Good

The Sugarcubes

4/5

This one snuck up on me. How is Bjork so freaking cool? Channelling Blondie and the Pretenders. Was this band what catapulted her to the zeitgeist? How have I never heard this before? Is this Iceland's response to Echo and the Bunnymen? Punky new wave, proto-grunge? Unique sound combinations that unlock new neural pathways. This is an album that demands another listen.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

If you only ever hear Bruce Springsteen on the radio you might think his Americana energy is good old boy music for blind patriots. There is patriotism there, but it's the sort of self-reflective, introspective patriotism that fuels the fires of change. It's a battle cry to overcome the grim beat of the paranoid streets, rise up from this broken system, reclaim what is rightfully ours. He echos the cognitive dissonance of the American ideals with the American reality. It's about freedom, truth, beauty and love. America is Bohemia if you want it to be, and Springsteen's words and music make me think it's still possible.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

4/5

Nixon

Lambchop

3/5

Hmmm, there is a lot to appreciate here. Floating between a 2 and 3 my appreciation of the musicianship and my lack of enjoyment. The layers are dense and nicely orchestrated. I would need to sit with the words longer to work out clearly the primary themes. I won't do this, because Im not actually enjoy listening to it for the length of the record. It plods along like a slushy trudge through someone else's neighborhood. What are you hinting at, my dudes? Why are we stuck at 110 bpm? Why does this music feel so impotent? They're so restrained I feel like I'm handcuffed.

Iron Maiden

3/5

In Utero

Nirvana

4/5

Want One

Rufus Wainwright

3/5

I like want two better, but this is good.

The Grand Tour

George Jones

3/5

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

5/5

Wish there were half stars because this sits between 4 and 5 for me.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

4/5

Celebrity Skin

Hole

3/5

Parklife

Blur

4/5

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

5/5

Yep

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

4/5

Sunshine came softly, ah to my, ah window today.

Tommy

The Who

5/5

Many memories around this one. Speaks volumes that this isn't even close to the best Who album, but it's still a masterpiece

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

4/5

Cooking with great balls of fire

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

4/5

Manzarek Inn

Fred Neil

5/5

Technique

New Order

4/5

I love this. Playful dance music. Listen to this with headphones. Fun with stereo. Crunchy crunchy bass really pops the sound into 3d.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

5/5

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

Virgin Suicides

Air

5/5

This one remains in my semi regular rotation. Five star mood intensifier. Epitome of cool. I can only imagine being a fly on the wall in that room while Air was spitballing for this. Did they read the book? How did they come to that playground love riff? Sexy, grounded, ebbing, flowing, feeling. The saxophone gets me every time. This soundtrack elevates and transcends it's source.

Movies

Holger Czukay

3/5

I dunno about this. I played it in the background and I didn't hate it but nothing stood out as remarkably wonderful or remarkably terrible. I vaguely recall some interesting chord progressions and odd orchestrations, but is innovative synonymous with essential?

Disintegration

The Cure

5/5

Easily the best album of the 80s.

Infected

The The

3/5

Shaka Zulu

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

4/5

Deep Purple In Rock

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Some good tunes, but I remember absolutely zilch

Raw Power

The Stooges

5/5

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

3/5

Boomer rock. This book was written by mostly boomers, wasn't it? This is just fine music, but it feels like modern chamber music. I dunno. It's fine.

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

3/5

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

5/5

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

5/5

Who's Next

The Modern Lovers

3/5

The Bends

Radiohead

4/5

Paul Simon

5/5

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

5/5

Top ten for me I have this one on vinyl and I treasure it

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

4/5

Revolutionary music Reggae is so politically charged, delving into an ugly history, but the music is so uplifting. Like we must remember this bullshit, so we can keep the past in the past

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

4/5

Holds up fifty years later. Wings got a lot of shit when I was growing up because it was decided that the Beatles should never have broken up, the world was a worse place because of Yoko Ono. It was as though we collectively shifted our angst over Lennon's assassination on Paul McCartneys post Beatles success in songwriting. Now we've had more time to digest, Lennon was not the saint he was posited to be in my youth. I don't know where I'm going with this. This album is solid. Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five is a tour de force. Five stars

Chelsea Girl

Nico

4/5

Another classic. I love her voice so much so distinct almost like it could be one of your friends recording themselves. It's maybe why it's resonates so much.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

4/5

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

4/5

Two Iron Maiden albums? I liked this one a bit more than the other.

Elvis Is Back

Elvis Presley

3/5

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

4/5

Love the album cover. Nancy Sinatra vibes. Arctic Monkeys lead man Alex Turner's supergroup? That first track absolutely rips. I like this a lot. Sounds much older. Good production.

Live!

Fela Kuti

5/5

Ginger Baker two days in a row. Wild. This is worlds better than any cream album though. Holy smokes, funkingroovin

Disraeli Gears

Cream

3/5

Soured to cream over time. Eric Clapton may be a good songwriter but he's a total twat. Ginger Baker fucking rocks

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

Dare!

The Human League

3/5

Possessive boyfriend issues is the theme of this album seemingly. Hard to tell if it's validating these feelings or poking fun at them. Maybe both. Maybe that's brilliant and a good way to hedge your bets, provoke the thought and don't push the issue hard, just a gentle nudge to cut that shit out. Either way, the music is solid, even if it's been played out.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle

Bill Callahan

5/5

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

5/5

Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics

4/5

I love the rough condensed sound. 60s garage rock outfit from Tacoma. Released by a record label in Tacoma. Like a northwest MC5. Have Love Will Travel

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

5/5

It's been years but this has aged well. Music for an industrial world. I remember hearing this for the first time as a boy and feeling intense fear but also fascination. Almost 30 years later and this makes me miss the boy I was, and reflect on the animal I have become.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

4/5

Background music for day to day living right here

Bug

Dinosaur Jr.

3/5

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

4/5

What is this bass? It's so good. Epitome of adult music. There is nothing childish at play here.

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals

3/5

3/5

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

4/5

Noisy noise. Sounds like squealing tires and highway congestion. Sounds like sweaty bodegas and the heat pouring off the concrete. Sounds like the clash between rioters and police. Sounds like the cry of a million desperate souls yearning desperately to be free of these monetary chains. Sounds like America.

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Chore of Enchantment

Giant Sand

The Colour Of Spring

Talk Talk

4/5

I wasn't sure about this at first. Reluctantly I let it ride and I was taken for a good one. The vocals are a bit whiny at times, but dude can't help it. This is good music. I love the rolling bass licks and there is some wild polyphonics going on in some of these tracks. It made me think of the Mountain Goats, which is always a good thing in my book

The year is 2005 and I'm in the driver seat of my Ford focus sedan. My best friend Dan is in the passenger seat and his girlfriend Sonya, is in the back seat. We're headed to the Green Day concert American idiot tour. I have this album playing on our way to the show. Sunday morning comes on. You know the first song and Sonya in the back seat says "what the f*** is this gay ass s***?! F**in f*g music. Turn it off" I tried to expound the fact that without Lou Reed, we might not have Green Day or pop punk at all but she wasn't having none of my Longview historical perspective. Well needless to say Dan and Sonya didn't last very long after that but our love for velvet underground and Nico live on. Wherever you wound up, Sonya, I wish you the best
